#Hello again!
32 messages in this thread
Hello All!
I've been away for a looong time now (major remodel on house, job change,
etc), but will be checking in frequently again starting RSN.
Have missed all the conversations with all the good people here, and all
the good advice to be had. I have a lot of catching up to do. Some
burning questions… are the graphics, multimedia CO's still going on? What
version is Imagemaster up to now (17.1?) 🙂 Is WB 3.0 out yet? 🙂
Anyway, this is just a 'I'm back' message… OH YEAH, ONE MORE THING…
(and a major reason for a good deal of my absence over the past few months)
ta ta de dum….
Announcing the birth of my son:
Tristan Hagan Pendergrass
July 12, 1992 — 07:43 AM
Vital stats: 10lbs, 3oz (yep!); 22 inches
Mother (Colleen) and baby are doing well. I, as you may guess, am pretty
darn happy.
Be talking to you. ttfn

Congratulations to you, your wife and new baby boy!
-Jonathan
John:
Congratulations!!!! 🙂
And… Welcome back, we missed you. Was the job change a minor change of
employer, or a major carreer change? The latest version of Im is 9.13, I
think the multimedia CO's are still going on (although I'm not real sure),
and no, WB3.0 isn't out yet. (but 2.05 is I believe, although it's a small
change only to support extra hardware on the A600)
Is Tristan your first? If so, welcome to fatherhood, you're in for lots of
fun, and other adventures. (if not the first, you already know that!)

Mike,
WB 2.1 has already been sent to developers for beta testing.

Dom:
What's been sent to developers, and whats RELEASED are 2 different things.
I was mentioning what's been released, not what might or might not be in
the hands of developers.

Mike,
I know there's a difference between what's released and what's sent to
developers. John said he wanted to know the latest news. When you mentioned
2.05, and that's not even going to be released in the U.S., I thought that
maybe you weren't aware of 2.1, which to me would be bigger news.
If you were already aware of 2.1, and just didn't want to tell John, then
I'm sorry. If you weren't aware of it, well now both you and John are. 😎
Bye.

Actually, a local dealer has gotten WB2.05 with some of the newer 2000s so
apparently, it is being released to the US. The last batch of 2.0 upgrade
kits had 2.04 though.
Developers also sign statements of non-disclosure in regards to anything
Commodore may or may not have available for them. What developers have
access to should not be public concern until Commodore sees fit for the
public to know. I'm sure we'll be surprised! 🙂

Dan,
I thought 2.05 was only for the A600, but maybe I'm wrong. What if any
capabilities does it add to the A2000? I thought it just provided support
for the A600's Ram port and would function the same as 2.04 on an A2000.
As far as 2.1 not being a matter of public concern until it's released,
well gee, most of us were talking about 2.0 for years before it was
released.
Dom Fontana
Does anyone know if the new 2.1 will support more than 1 HighDensity drive
installed at the same time. It is very tricky to get one set to DF1: now.
It is like the computer doesn't have a way to sense what format it is. You
have to leave the motherboard jumper set to DF0: to get it to work.

John,
Any 2.1 release that is/isn't being worked on is not final…thus
what may or may not be available in it at some later time can't be talked
about now.
Don
John,
Sorry, I don't know anything about 2.1 other than it's being tested.
Dom Fontana
Uh…
Commodore is shipping 2.05 in the US machines now. 🙂

Mark,
Someone else mentioned that to me. I thought the main, if not only
difference was that it took advantage of the A600's RAM port. Are there any
differences non-A600s owners could use?
Thanks.
Dom Fontana
I understand that 2.05 has a nice new setpatch that corrects some bugs that
were in 2.04.

John,
Welcome back DAD! and congratulations! (Puffing on Ceegar) B^)
That is quite a name you've given your son, any special references in it?
Good to see your back, You missed WB3.0 its gone to 4.7, imagemaster is, (I
think, don't quote me) up to 27.6B? No I'm not sure about that one. Don't
want to get kicked by Ben! 🙂
Chris
Congrat's John and welcome back!
Clint <VRLI>
Clint,
Just wanted to say hello. How's everything going with you?
Dom Fontana
Howdy Dom!
Everything's fine over here. The 500 still gets its daily workout
and is working fine. Drop by CO some late night over in AmigaTech
sometime! I'm usually there between 11pm PDT and 1am PDT keeping everyone
queazy with my puns. <grin>
Clint <VRLI>
Clint,
Good to hear from you. I will drop by AmigaTech CO sometime.
Bye.
Dom Fontana
John,
Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy!
Glad to have you back.
Dom Fontana
About time! I had to put an APB out on you 🙂
I thought only paralysis would keep you away from here, but I guess
fatherhood is the next best thing.
You have 16 hours to catch up, so gittyup, you have no excuses now for
nine (and a half) months.

with 9.13 due any day now. Welcome back.

9.12 has stopped shipping as of yesterday; 9.13 is being packaged (it's
done, obviously), and will begin leaving on Monday.
–Ben
Yay! I'll be looking for my update copy in a week or so. Did you upload the
PIE.LZH yet?
….Mark Sterling 74335,1677
PIE.lzh is in DL6 right now. :^)
–Ben
Congrats and welcome back! I do think you'll be preoccupied with the
bundle of joy for quite some time though! 🙂
Here's to continued health and fun!
Dan McCoy – via Whap! and saving money doing it too!
Congrats and good to see you back!
Congratulations. That is one big baby. I assume that you already have
your sleep for the next 18 years.
Congratulations, John!!
And welcome back, too.
